Proves q Grand, Beautiful and
Delightful Affair,
The Largest Audience Ever Assembled
In the Opera House witnesses
the Grand Pageant.
The "Minuet de Ia COur'' Goes on
Smoothly and is Received With
General Favor.

The task OF pleasing twelve hundred
persons in single evenings entertain,
ment is one that but few attempt, and
still fewer accomplish. For this reason
the success of an affair like the Grand
Paper Carnival of last evening is all the
more worthy Of the greatest efforts Of
those interested, and all the more credit
able when attained. To say that last
nights audience was pleased is probably
putting it too mild, for there were GER
tainly many present who were perfectly
enraptured over the beauty, pomp and
grandeur displayed. =.
Long before the hour for opening the
| doors, the spacious Hobbies of the house
were jammed with people, and finally,
when the portals moved out, the seats,
aisles, and passages were filed with a
rapidity that spoke volumes of happy
anticipation on the part of spectators.

opened its doors, has so large an assem-
blage gathered within its walls, and never
before in this city has there been seen a

wealth, culture and beauty of our society
world. All the proscenium boxes and
the stalls were filled with prominent peo-
pie, who, with the rest of the audience:
rendered their hearty appreciation of the
evenings entertainment.
There was a somewhat tedious wait
before the curtain went up on the grand
march, but this was all explained when
the audience realized the amount of
dressing that had to be done for the
affair. As the grand pageant, led off

Martha Washington lieutenant Shat
tuck and Mrs. Gourlsy), came into full
